Blogging is Cheaper Than Therapy

Okay, I feel a little silly writing about this but it's my blog so I shall. I know there have to be other people like me out there who have to compartmentalize everything in their life. From clothes (dress, dress casual, casual, work-out, etc) or other things that don't necessarily need to be placed into a category but I do it anyways because I kind of see my brain as a desk and everything needs to be properly filed in its rightful place. I've been thinking a lot about friendships, past and present and how I am going to "file" them away. I wouldn't say that I am extremely social but I have met a lot of people and made a lot of friends in my life thus far. The challenge has been how do I properly sort out all of these friends? I used to have three categories; friends, good friends and best friends. I no longer categorize my friendships into three because those good friends can become just 'friends' or 'best friends' within one action or one t

It's the second week of September and we can already feel and smell Autumn in the air! I love this time of year; when we put away our shorts and bust out our sweaters/cardigans. I love this season, it always makes me feel so nostalgic for Autumns past. I remember every Fall season since 2003 so vividly. I remember all of the songs that made up those times, my different circles of friends I've had and all of the good memories. Autumn is such an interesting season; the changing of the colors is brilliant and beautiful. It's hard to classify a season as a "new beginning" but if I had to choose one to serve as that, it would definitely be this one. These are a few things I look forward to the most: caramel apple ciders, espresso beverages in general, plaid shirts, wearing boots again, long coats, cardigans and that char-like smell in the air. I look forward to a new start, a new beginning with the changing of the season!

Heeyyyy guys. I got back in last night from an amazing trip to south California. Where do I begin this? My flight there was awesome, Delta airplanes are great! Every seat had a personal screen where I could watch television, movies and listen to a wide variety of music (it had Death Cab, Fleet Foxes, Lupe Fiasco and a whole lot of other amazing stuff). I got to Orange County right after the khutbah ended which was a bummer, I really really like the Imam at the masjid that I used to go to. I got a rental car and upgraded to a Ford Fusion so I could have a car with built in Bluetooth and better gas mileage. This car was pretty nice actually, it had dual climate control, heated seats and a button that changed the internal mood lighting in the car; it was unnecessary but cool. I couldn't find a USB port anywhere to charge my phone/play my music so that was annoying. I had planned to have lunch with a group of my friends right after Friday prayer but our plans weren't well-coord
